Paris, 1940. Outraged by the injustice of the Occupation, Lili, seventeen, joined a resistance group to fight the Germans and their French collaborators. While the clandestine struggle extends to the whole of France, young fighters multiply heroic feats, exposing himself to the relentless repression of the enemy. They set up networks of resistance that led to the liberation of Paris in August 1944 ...

A plucky 17-year-old girl lays flowers at the foot of a French hero’s statue. As this is in Occupied Paris in 1940, it will be seen as a hostile act by the Nazis that could result in her arrest, or worse.

This spirited, subtitled French drama does a pretty good job of sketching the role played by the young people of France in the fight against their oppressors. The girl with the flowers, Lili, helps other patriotic teens to distribute an underground newspaper called Résistance and, such is her demonstrable courage that she is chosen to escort a clutch of English airmen, freed from capture, to safety.

Lili is not afraid of confronting Nazi brutes or their French henchmen and she stands up for her mates when they beat an old man, her friend’s father, as they storm into his house.

Six episode mini-series, runtime is 55 or so minutes per episode.
